Scott, would love to I grew up in Portland in the shadow of Mt Tabor. Most the work is just time and labor. Unfortunately this car had never been cleaned even with only 26k miles it came from up north so it needed a bit of work. Scott the motor had some staining and discolor. most the staining come out but the color is still a bit dark but not bad for an aged LT5. I used Adams machine polish on it by hand and lots of rubbing.

This was before


After
